Scandalous how much laying on that was allowed, we need to put a complaint in about that. From last weeks almost anonymous ref (in good way) to the “. it's all about me” show today

Bentley showing right there why he should not be in the side and never given another contract. Pure brainless stupidity and no need for it totally avoidable and nearly cost us the game. 

Although felt a bit sorry for Lisone, not the player to bring on the field last 5 minutes in a one score game, but it also showed why he shouldn’t really get another deal.

Strong words from BA on the obstruction that wasn't leading up to the try.


It was obstruction. Those making the decisions about what is/isn't obstruction need to understand the defensive line more. The statement about Bentley making deliberate contact is offensive. He doesn't coach his players to take a dive.  

Great game played in the right spirit. Atmosphere was tremendous. We were very good in the 1st half, and we weren't too bad in the 2nd. Wakefield, who are very entertaining side, just managed to find some momentum and make excellent use of of the breeze which really got up (those high kicks were moving all over the place) in the 2nd half. We obviously missed Miller, who now that he's cut out the mad moment's, looks like one of the best players in the comp, but we also suffered because Handley looked to get injured late in the 1st half, and really struggled thereafter. Not sure if that was picked up on the TV coverage? Special mention to Newman and Hall who both ran fearlessly when we really needed them when Wakey got on top. Once again, difficult to fight back the tears on the anniversary of ,Rob"s death. Really puts the odd knock on into perspective.

I’m sick of referees signalling for attacking players to get up and telling them to get up as the easy option rather than penalise the defending team for holding down.


Refs don’t ping anything at the ruck now. I would be instructing Leeds when defending to lay between the player playing the ball and the player picking up to slow down the pass as its no longer an offence.


I’d be stripping Handley’s captaincy for that captains call. Clearly not intelligent enough for the job.


Wish we had a Sinfield / McGuire type player who challenges the ref rather than us saying nothing.

I thought the Leeds performance was like the curates egg, good in parts.

I’m away at the moment and can’t watch the games. Sounded a very close one. But it’s a very useful win none the less 

Hindsight and all that but the reshuffle took away all our threat and allowed a decent Powell coached side to play how they wanted. Upon reflection, keeping them to two 2nd half tries was a decent effort.

Lets be fair to Lisone. He has cut out the mistakes this season and the pass was just above his knees. He had no chance of taking it. Our biggest problem is BA filling the bench with forwards

a bloody good 2 points against a  serious play off rival.
yes some aspect could have been better but arthur has instilled a toughness and will to win that we haven't seen for years. we'd have folded under the previous coach.

Only saw the last 15 mins, showed resilience to keep them out, would have folded in previous seasons.


O’Connors pass to Lisone was a shocker and the Bentley challenge was never a yellow.
